tinker1121's Kitchen

Update of 80s country kitchen


Details from tinker1121 on 7/29/2014
Link to tinker1121's's Gardenweb finished kitchen post


Introduction:
I took down some 80s wallpaper in January 2014 and thought we would just paint, get new laminate counters and a new floor. This evolved into a much more complex project.
We kept our oak Kraftmaid cabinets, chose laminate and the counters were ruined by the guy we hired as he used a dull sawblade and all edges chipped on the formica. He installed them and thought we wouldn't notice.
The long and short of it is, I then chose granite as easier to just pick a slab, well not that easy to find one to go with the oak but fell in love with the creamy color of Absolute Cream and the greenish quartz pieces in it are just perfect.
Then the old appliances looked really old so replaced all of them with black.



Kitchen Highlights:
  • Cabinets - harvest oak Kraftmaid-installed in the early 90s
  • New toe kick -1/2"" 6"" oak stained with two coats Early American and one coat Gunstock and a perfect match to the harvest oak cabinets
  • Absolute Cream granite
  • BS- Jeffrey Court Vintage Studio - 3 x 6 beveled subway - color is called Antique Lace
  • Floor - 16 x 16 vinyl tiles by Shaw- Resort Tile- color Sunlit Sand
  • Sink - Swanstone 70/30 low wave divide- color is Nero (black), Delta- ORB faucet from Lowes
  • Hardware color - Statutory Bronze
  • Chandelier - Quorum Hathaway Black
  • chairs - Overstock dot com - Tribecca MacKenzie
  • Artwork - artist is Priska Wettstein- prints from ImageKind Art

Introduction:
This kitchen space is the same one we've lived in for the last 37 years. It always worked well, but it was time. We spent months trying to figure a way to make the space larger - take space from the adjoining bedroom, pop out a wall, but with our house configuration, nothing was better than what we already had. In the end, we ditched the overhead cabinets over the peninsula and removed a stub wall to make space for a pantry, but kept the same footprint. This kitchen with its two entries was always efficient, but the changes made it better than ever. Lower drawers and the addition of the pantry were the best changes along with a super susan in an unreachable corner.

  • InnerMost cabinets

      Kenmore Diswasher, Kenmore Trash Compactor and Kitchen Aid gas cooktop were all existing
    • Granite - Russian Sable from Arizona Tile 
    • The backsplash was DW's project, and I think she hit it out of the park. We had wanted a copper glass tile, but hadn't found anything. One day, she was poking around on-line and found the deco mosaic, which is called Nutmeg Versailles from Unique Building Concepts. She went to their website, and found the matching 6x6 field tile on closeout at $2/sf! We bought all of it - about 20-30 tiles too many, then started work on putting it all together.
      We weren't wild about one of the colors in the mosaic - kind of a khaki color - so she came up with the idea of putting in a solid copper medallion from Landmark Metalcoat to replace the 2x2s and some teal glass tiles from Crossville for the 1x1s. The liners are from Dal-Tile and the copper quarter round that you see behind the sink (also at the ends of the island) are from Landmark.

      Details:
      • Cabinets: locally made, beaded inset doors. The glass in the cabinets is antiqued.
      • Countertops: Iguazu soapstone from Dorado Soapstone of Austin, TX (same as sink)
      • Backsplash: Daltile Canaletto Rosso with Dakota Mahogany inserts. (The ceramic tile always looks a bit orange in the pictures when it is actually a terracotta color.
      • Appliances:
        • Dishwasher - Whirlpool that I got a year ago to replace my worn out one. It’s quiet, works great, and I saw no need to change it.
        • Refrigerator - Samsung 26 Cu Ft.
        • Vent - ModernAire
        • Range - Electrolux 30 inch slide-in electric with two ovens (Getting gas to our house would have been prohibitively expensive.)
        • Range hood - custom built, Modernaire liner.
      • Sink: Iguazu soapstone from Dorado Soapstone of Austin, TX. (Since the sink doesn't get any treatments and has water and soap in it frequently, it does "gray," which I don't mind at all for the sink.)
      • Faucet: Allora by Delta
      • Soap dispensers: Allora by Delta
      • Hardware - Atlas Homewares Scroll in black, some the right scroll, most are the left scroll

      • Trash Pullout: Hafele
      • Lighting:
        • Recessed - Cree LR6 LED’s
        • Over the sink - The Piedmont in antique black from Schoolhouse Electric.
        • Over the table - Hinkley Juliette 3 Light Mini Chandelier in Olde Black.
        • Undercounter lights - Xenon, I don’t know what brand
      • Floor: Daltile Canaletto Rosso with Dakota Mahogany inserts.
      • Paint: All Behr colors. Some of them we did tweak a bit.
        • Green cabinets: We started with Behr Mint Fizz, but there was not enough contrast, so we darkened it.
        • Cream cabinets, banquette, and all baseboards, trim, doors: Behr China Cup.
        • Sink end of the room: Behr Coronado Dunes
        • Banquette end of the room: Behr Peach Bud
        • Ceiling: Behr Muffin Mix.
      • Shades: from Fabric Workroom online. The cleats are by ChicCleats and mimic the scroll of the cabinet pulls.
      • Two door interiors painted with magnetic paint (3 coats) and then with chalkboard paint.
      Background:
      We bought our house new in 1981. In 1989 I closed in the deck to create a room for me. The kitchen window over the sink that looked out onto the deck became a leaded glass window looking into my room. At that time I had the upper cabinet doors removed and those cabinets painted and I changed the wallpaper and the vinyl floor as the old floor had not held up well. Nothing has been done to the kitchen since then except for the occasional new appliance as an old one died.

      None of this was DIY - neither of us has any talent in that direction.

      Since I built in the banquette, I was able to move the peninsula out by about a foot which allowed me to make the island a little longer. Originally the peninsula had what I assume was meant to be a breakfast bar, but it was much too narrow to be used. I had that cut down to make one large area and the overhang now extends out a bit more.

      The only extra space I was able to add to the kitchen is at the coffee bar. The space for the frig already extended into the utility room and the space that had the oven and the pantry extended into the garage. I extended the rest of that wall into the garage by the same amount, roughly 6.5 ft x 2.5 ft. That gave me room for a slightly large pantry and for the coffee bar.
